Truth is a powerful thing. It's pursuit can lead to the discover of untold wonders, secrets of the universe that are terribly beautiful, and terribly powerful. The truth reaches in, as well as out, and it's attainment is often tempered by something, often called Morals.
Now, I watch as out southern neighbors preach an endless stream of morals. Supposedly, President Bush was elected based on his morals, and it is these morals that will carry the nation forward.
They will not.
What has happened, is the United States have become hyper-moralized. So obsessed with the pursuit of truth and good, that the very essence of what they seek to become has disappeared. The US has become a nation that has wrapped itself with the very essence of arrogance and Ivory Tower outlook.
Becoming less involved with the truth, the US has become a bastardization of morals. Instead of pursuing "what's right," they've taken the alternate path of "we're right." The somehow, because a democratic, and increasingly fundamentalist nation deems something needs doing, or something is wrong, they are automatically right. Such is neither democratic, nor overly Christian. A respectful sovereign nation does not shatter another sovereign nation based on morals alone. Such is the path to destruction and devolution.
Everything that the US stood for at its conception is moot. The Constitution is scrap, and the South won the war.
Unilateral action of destruction based on Truth and Morals is not the so called Path of the Paladin, champion of good. A force of good never works alone, and never burns its bridges with others of a like mind, if of a differeing opinion.
Stop the charge and listen. You might second guess yourself, but you might also make some friend and amends, which are, at this time, something essential to the survival of the United States as a free and democratic nation.
